Hollywood Indirect Racism

casimendocina · 07-10-2010, 06:27 AM

That was stereotyping of Australians from a New Zealanders point of view done so as to be completely ridiculous thereby making it hilarious (at least to Australians and New Zealanders) which is sort of pertinent to the debate of how different racial groups are portrayed in film and on TV...Flight of the Concords is a pisstake no matter what they're doing so given the intensity of the debate above, thought it was time for a bit of light relief before going back to the original discussion.

Currently streaming Robotech: The Macross Saga through my Wii. I'm seeing a total of one Asian character--Minmei.

ARE YOU PROTESTING THE JAPANESE ANIMATORS OF The Super Dimension Fortress Macross FOR THEIR RACISM???
